Health to face vote of no confidence

HEALTH and Social Services faces a vote of no confidence after this morning's announcement of emergency measures to help cap a shock £2.5m. overspend.

Former board member Mike Hadley, pictured, will lead the motion, angered about the cuts to services.

At least three more deputies expressed support for it in the immediate aftermath of this morning's debate – seven are needed in total for it to be submitted.

The request is made in writing to the Policy Council and the board then has five days to resign or face a vote in the States.

That would potentially be before the Budget debate on Wednesday 12 December.
